Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and long-term risk of immune-related disorders

In conclusion, individuals with G6PD deficiency are at a higher risk of developing autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and allergic conditions. This large-scale observational study provides valuable insights into the comprehensive association between G6PD deficiency and infectious and immune-related diseases. The findings emphasize the importance of considering G6PD deficiency as a potential risk factor in clinical practice and further research is warranted to better understand the underlying mechanisms of these associations.PMID:37753082 | PMC:PMC10518697 | DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2023.1232560
